do you guys know if it is possible to get steam discount notifications?

Yeah, no time to look it up right now, but I believe it's associated with your wishlist, or somewhere in that set of options. You can ask Steam to send an email when a particular title goes on sale, definitely.

Excellent preview. I'm drooling over the campaign map. Reminds me of Civilization (in a good way). The idea of a somewhat more historical RTW with no "Rebels" faction is just awesome. I hope they do eventually make most factions playable, even if it means a freaking DLC for every culture group. I'd really like to be able to campaign as Galatia one day.

And I really, really like the fact that the campaign map doesn't have lines for region borders, only faction borders. That looks so much better.

What I do not like about this, is that by reading the prices for the "Hellas" DLCs, each have its own tag. So it looks like they will make a DLC = new faction, probably released in tandem with a couple of others. But each at a full DLC price...
Gotta love how the marketing people squeeze every dime they can :P

Yep agreed. Half the work, triple the money..

Yeah, it's definitely a rip-off, but if the alternative is no more factions, well... I'll pony up for the ones I actually want to play.

Yeah i can see many people going for the dlcs especially if the game wont be modder friendly as we suspect.
